Ayurveda - das Wissen vom Leben
... Foto zu sehenden Bottich "gesperrt" - in diesem stand ein Schemel - auf den man sich setzte - dann wurde die Holztür vorne wieder geschlossen und oben kam nur noch der Kopf raus (für Leute mit Beklemmungsgefühlen definitiv nicht geeignet). Der Dampf kam - wie man nur schemenhaft auf dem Foto sehen kann - aus einem Dampfkochtopf, der über einem Gasbrenner erhitzt wurde.

This allowed me to see the crazy little homes in the area, behind moss covered and crumbling old rock walls.
